TIS-A ALERTS

A TIS-A audio alert is generated whenever the number of Traffic Advisories on the GPSMAP 695/696 screen increases from one scan to the next. Limiting Traffic Advisories only reduces the “nuisance” alerting due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the first Traffic Advisories appear on the TIS-A display, the user is alerted audibly. So long as a single aircraft remains on the TIS-A display, no further audio alert is generated. If a second (or more) aircraft appears on the screen, a new audio alert is sounded.

If the number of Traffic Advisories on the TIS-A display decreases and then increases, a new audio alert is sounded. The TIS-A audio alert is also generated whenever TIS-A service becomes available. The following TIS-A audio alerts are available:

•“Traffic”—TIS-A traffic alert received.

•“Traffic Not Available”—TIS-A service is not available or out of range.

Adjusting alert volume:

1)Press the MENU Key twice to access the Main Menu.

2)Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘System Setup’, and press the ENT Key.

3)Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘Sound’, and press the ENT Key.

4)Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the ‘Alert Volume’ field.

5)Turn the FMS Joystick to select the desired volume (0-10).

6)Press the EXIT Softkey or FMS Joystick to exit.
